Hello all... I'm a provider who is new to the world of optimizing Centricity, and I don't have a whole lot of support from our IT department (they're busy keeping the network from crashing!). I've been exploring adding advanced functions to quick text (auto-populating data, adding problems, adding orders, etc) with some good success, but I'm spending an inordinate amount of timing looking up the "logic" or "syntax" (or whatever the proper term is) for different functions.
As an example, this took me quite a while to find :"MEL_ADD_PROBLEM(type, description, code, onset_date, end_date, annotate, assessment, comment)"
Does some sort of user manual that simply lists all the different available functions exist? Every time I search, I come up empty...
Thanks in advance!

In the help file under administrators and management there's the use data symbols.
You can find it in CPS by clicking the ? in the upper right of Chart Desktop.

Welcome. Many of us that participate in the CHUG forums have the responsibility of optimizing workflows within Centricity so you have come to the right place. Jonathan has you pointed in the right direction. The only thing I might add is that you will find these MEL functions sorted categorically as well as alphabetically in the help files. You’ll notice that when you click on a symbol or function in the categorical folder, it will throw you down into the alphabetical listing. This can be frustrating for new users when you start out learning all that you can do, so just wanted to make you aware of this annoyance.
Happy optimizing!

You might find this resource useful as well. It's somewhat dated, but is the latest publication I can locate on the MEL language. See attached file.
